It’s a Good Life if You Don’t Weaken
The Tragically Hip
Nice and simple here, just the chords. I am tuned down a half step.

Intro
Am Fmaj7
Am Fmaj7
When the colour of the night
Am Fmaj7
And all the smoke for one life
Dm G
Gives way to shaky movements,
Dm
Improvisational skills,
F
A forest of whispering speakers
Am
Let’s swear that we will
Fmaj7
Get with the times
Am
In a current health to stay
Fmaj7
Let’s get friendship right
Dm
Get life day-to-day
G
In the forget-yer-skates dream
C
Full of countervailing woes
G
In diverse-as-ever scenes
F(bar)
Proceeding on a need-to-know
G(bar) F(bar)
In a face so full of meaning
G(bar) F(bar)
As to almost make it glow
G(bar) F(bar)
O’ for a good life, we just might have to weaken
C
And find somewhere to go
Fmaj7
Go somewhere we’re needed
C
Find somewhere to grow
Fmaj7
Grow somewhere we’re needed

You know which way to go
